After going to a Church conference this past weekend (28 Mar 03 - 30 Mar 03 ) I have had a lot of time to think about different things that have been happening around the world these past couple of days, months and weeks. I am currently reading the bible for a second time and again and again the same part of the scriptures pop into my head, thy shall love thy neighbour. It has become increasingly clear to me that the world no longer loves the neighbours and communities as it had once had (if it had ever existed), and the world has no tolerance for things that other countries have done. Granted there should be things that should not be forgiven and there are some things that should be dealt with in an appropriate manner.

In view of the recent attack on Iraq, this has made me even more confused and I am beginning to think that all the world cared about now a days is just about themselves. If there was ever a peace that once exsisted in this world, it is now my firm understanding that it has ceased to exsist.
